Question

Find an equation for the sum of two numbers one of which is 5 times larger than the other is 24

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first number be x

then the second number will be 5x

5x+x=24

6x=24

x=4

Answer 2

Given : –

• The sum of two numbers is 24 .
• One of the number is 5 Times than the other .

To Find : –

• The equation or the numbers ?

Solution : –

Let, the first number be x

then according to the question, the another number will be 5x .

Now,

$\longrightarrow \: \sf{x + 5x = 24} \\ \\ \longrightarrow \: \sf{6x = 24} \\ \\ \longrightarrow \: \sf{x = \frac{24}{6} } \\ \\ \longrightarrow \: \underline{ \fbox{\sf{x = 4}}}$

• First number is 4
• First number is 4Another number is (5 × 4) = 20
• And the equation is [ x + 5x = 24 ]
